We got 10 frags, salt, a fuge from Ocea and a pair of tomato clowns from SA.

scouncil · Jan 18, 2009

I got a ton of stuff that I of course have no idea what they are. Are you surprised? I did get another pink mili.... and a green slimer....

scouncil · Jan 18, 2009

I'll just have to wait to have a meeting at my house so Brandon, Bryan and Patrick can tell me what I have.....

gflat65 · Jan 18, 2009

I amde ou tpretty good. I got some nuclear greens, Tubbs blues, Mahal's PE's, Mohawks, Armageddons, Unattainables, Apple Fusion, and it seems like at least one other morph, Raspberry Limeade, Tubb's Pink Jade, Tyree undata, OT, 2 unnamed and unknown species acros, Hiller delight, Alt garf PB, Alabama tort, and a mille that was the bluest I'd ever had in my tank that turned into a pastel pink with blue tips in someone else's tank. The opnly ones I lost are ones I figured i was giving to the fund on anyway (foxstangs that got nuked on the way in). I figured it'd help him recover some funds, even if I lost them (got them cheap and had a really good day to boot). I need to build up my 'collectible' selection and made some head way

. I also got a couple of sea swirls, a Pan World 100 (high head), and a 1/10 HP chiller (all was pretty cheap).

I got like 8 frags from one seller that are all dead or almost gone but 2. The ones dead are sps and a chalice frag.

Most were dead before I took them out of the bag. The sps frags from other sellers are just fine.

scouncil · Jan 18, 2009

Wow David, that's awful!!! Who was the seller. My stuff all looks pretty good so far.... And Brandon and Bryan, just shut up....

I did get some lovely acans from Gflat..... I wanted the cespelaria (whatever it was, but alas, was too cheap.....).

ironman · Jan 18, 2009

Dont know who the seller was but I bet due to the cold there was some delivery issues, I know you kept all your stuff in a cooler with heat packs from the time you got stuff at the swap so I doubt it was your fault.

bamachamp92 · Jan 18, 2009

I got some nice stuff, 2 different prizm favias one from Randy which is really sweet and another one that is not as nice but its a little different. I got some nice unknown orange palys from Jimmy(JWJTIDE) that look really good. I got a blue tip deepwater and a cap frag that looks like the leng sy from poolkeeper for a great price that both look good. I got some nice pieces of sps from Chadfarmer the setosa was in pretty bad shape when I got it from him and ended up dying, but he did give me my money back. The crayola and the purple unknown are fine that I got from him. So all in all I had a great haul. I sold my light and won another par meter so it was a good day.

scouncil · Jan 18, 2009

I cannot BELEIVE that you won ANOTHER par meter!!! You are so LUCKY!!!

jimmybling31 · Jan 18, 2009

hey tommy you wanna come check the par on my 20k coravue bulb with that meter? I am betting it comes close to those radiums you are running. it looks pretty nice.

glad to hear yall got some good stuff. I had a retreat with work I had to go to and get paid for. I made enough money to where I don't feel as bad about getting a 500 dollar skimmer in the next couple weeks. possibly a wavemaker if I can find a used one.

salt newbie01 · Jan 18, 2009

Glad you guys/gal had a good time!

I came back with one of the prism favias like Tommy got. As he said pretty nice piece. Also a nice favia from Gary. Got some blow pop zoas and tubs from Randy. Also got some nice acans and a sweet micro from casey. And Dave those pays - Raptors rainbows look AWESOME under the radiums!!! Love them!!!

Also a sea swirl from Tommy - we'll settle up soon man!! Thanks!!

Garth Schafluetzel · Jan 19, 2009

rev i would like to know what happened to yours as well i had this happin to a 4 to 5 inch unknown blue acro and i to kept mine in a cooler with heat packsand i watched them bag it and it looked fine and when i checked on everything about halfway home the bag was a dark murky brown color. by the time i got home it smeled of dead sea smell and the water was brown it came out of the bad looking realy bad off but hopeful thinking i threw him in after acclimating and at this point i say hes a gonner. my porcilipora and my barny i got from brandon maybe he will chime in and give me some info on it but everything else made the trip no problem and everything looks great i wish my big piece would have done better it was almost the size of my hand

Brandon

Starts the thread, talks about pictures and then what? Nothing! We want some pictures! Everything couldn't have died this soon?!??

revhtree · Jan 19, 2009

Yea Garth the bags where milky when I got home. All the frags I lost were from the same person and then I forgot I lost the setosa like you Tommy.

All the other frags are looking sharp though!

Garth was there something wrong with the frags you got from me? I'm confused.

Garth Schafluetzel · Jan 19, 2009

no not at all all of yours are looking great i have new polyps grown on the low lights puple one i got from u already.any info on the one i got at the swap you called it barney or something lol. and yeah i wish i could remeber the exact both i got mine from i remeber it was on the same row as gflat but i realy forgot to look. why could have caused this? maybe something is wrong with there transpotation witch overly stressed them then they were in a frag tank then taken back out and bagged up againi know that would be a ruff day on ne thing but still this isnt ne of our first time around dealing with this it just stinks if yall want ill get you a pick of my 4-5inch acro skeleton lol. ill be picking up a point and shoot and get a couple pics on here from what survived

I heard that one guy's corals got overheated on the ride to the swap somehow. The ones I bought from him were milky in the bag, too. I had two make it home, but RTN'd overnight. I got them from him whne he was closing up shop, and his water was milky, so I didn't expect them to live (but had hope). For $5 and $10, though, I figured it might be worth it to try.
